Hi, as part of the jdk14 install, i have to download the file j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin from the sun web site and put it into the /usr/ports/distfiles folder. I did that - no problem. I can see the file listed in the right place.
When i do the "Make", it aborts with an error. It cannot find the file I just downloaded. I highlight and copy the file name in the error message. Using KDE find files, i paste the filename into the search field, and the file is found in the distfiles folder !! If I do a whereis on the Konsole and it is not found. I cd'd to /usr/ports/distfiles and typed whereis j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin and i get j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin: back. I assume this means it is not found. I looked at the permissions of the file. they were rw-r--r--. I changed it to rwxr-xr-x. Didnt make any difference. The only other thing i noticed was that the file is a .bin, and the file type is listed as a shell script. i am really stuck. I am very new to this and cant see what is wrong. Can anyone help.
